Red's Seaside Grill is based in Fords Cove on beautiful Hornby Island. I feel a little guilty…read moretelling the world about this place, as part of its charm is its remote setting and local clientele, but alas, the food was so tasty I feel it a crime against Red himself not to spread the word. Red's is based in a store that looks like a wooden fishing boat, very cute. Red himself and his serving staff have genuine island hospitality, and the fish is so fresh I think it almost leapt from my hands and back into its watery home, situated mere steps from the restaurant. All of the seating is outside and the view of Fords Cove is stunning. I recommend getting your "f&c's" to go and walk around the coast a few minutes over the sandstone to find a spot to watch the fishing boats cruise by. My halibut and chips were amazingly fresh with light crispy batter and the onion rings are KILLER -chunky and crispy with sweet onion with that x-factor that only comes with homemade goods. The condiment stand was packed with everything you need - vinegar, ketchup, sweet green relish, mustard....the list goes on. Red's knows how serve up island style food - honest, delicious and made with love.

Great fish & chips. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Expect a ten minute wait on average, but…read morethey'll yell out your name if you've gone for a walk (we usually wander down the dock to look at all the boats). To fully enjoy your meal, load up on the bounty of condiments and find a place to sit among the rocks along the water of Ford's Cove. (Note: Rumor has it that Red's is going to close this location by next year and open one closer to the Bakery or the Co-op. Hopefully they'll just add a 2nd location??)

You name it in the seafood line they are number one. Lindy and Steve are absolutely amazing and Lindy is an absolute sweetheart , with her amazing smile and Steves nice too lol Sometimes we drop a table and eat in other times we just bring a blanket or sit on a park bench and do the takeout method . Either way I've never had a meal there that does not rank a 10 out of 10 then if you still got room, you grab an ice cream and then you go home and sit on the couch rubbing your full belly lol well that's what I do anyways.

The fish was also not super greasy which will be easier on my stomach. The fish was also nice and crispy! The coleslaw tasted nice and fresh with a light vinaigrette dressing. I wish the coleslaw had a more creamy sauce. But if u like vinaigrette coleslaw, then u will love this coleslaw. They have a huge menu that i will have to explore sometime. Service was amazing. Super friendly staff and extra tartar sauce was no extra charge! Ambiance was nice and relaxing. There are a few outside benches to provide a nice camp feel. The benches were clean for the most part with maybe a few crumbs but majority of it was clean. Pricing is reasonable and definitely worth the quality. It was around $20-$30 a person I would rate the fish and chips 5/5 and the coleslaw a 3/5.
